It asks about the tax bill, as in the total dollar amount paid, not the tax percentage.

Yeah which is why I can express my opinion that saying that is weird and gross. Open forums go both ways.

- Comment on Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies? 1 month ago:
And for political conservatives, but not for liberals, greater knowledge of science and math is associated with a greater likelihood of dismissing what almost all scientists believe about the human causation of global warming
Also known as the “I must know more than every scientist to ever live” effect

If you were very, very close to it, not exactly, since Jupiter’s mass is more spread out, making the gravitational pull slightly weaker at close range. But for practical purposes yeah nothing would change for us.
- Comment on What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too. 1 month ago:
Right. Any hardware can be a server, but people choose to make servers out of certain hardware that they find convenient for the task.

Yup. Plus rack mounts!
Unless you’re using a server as your laptop. But surely nobody would do that… *quickly hides server laptop behind my back*

Crash Nitro Kart and some of the PS2 Crash platformers are pretty good

Well, a server has to be running software that, you know, serves stuff. Listens and responds to network requests. They do usually also have different hardware-- no need for an integrated screen or keyboard!

Ok, you’ve officially taken the propaganda phrases too far, because this one doesn’t even make sense. The purpose of an algebra test is ability to do algebra? The purpose of an intelligence test is pattern recognition, working memory, and some other things? Huh?
The right thing to say would be “The purpose of a test is what it does”, in keeping with the phrase you modified this from, but that’s arguably false too. The purpose of a test is what it was designed to do, and what it does is what it actually does.
You could say that the purpose of our continued usage of a test is to encourage what it actually does, regardless of what it was designed to do; which is what I believe you’re trying to say, and I would agree with that statement. But I object to the thoughtless propagation of dumb phrases like the one you used.

I took an IQ test a few months ago to help my sister study for her psychology exam, so I can confirm that at least one type of IQ test that’s actually in use today measures more than just pattern recognition. It had pattern recognition, yes, but also working memory, accumulated knowledge, clarity of explanation, and a few other things that were given less focus.
